Make sure to turn subtitles on if you don't understand Dutch.
And I hope you understand Finglish, because I did not bother to subtitle that. ;)
One thing that international media often does not emphasis when talking about Finnish defence in 2022:
1. Finland did not start preparing for war because of Russian invasion of Ukraine. Our country has been preparing for war since 27 April 1945, from the day the war in Finnish Lapland (against Nazi Germany) ended.
2. Finland only prepares for war to PREVENT use of military force against Finland. Finland does not have armed forces, but DEFENCE FORCES. Finland does not want to threaten anyone.
3. Russia has significantly LESS mililtary forces in the region near Finland than in a normal, peacetime situation. all but one of the 5 Russian nearby Brigades have sent all available combat units (and their best equipment to Ukraine. Also a significant amount air units have been deployed in the Ukraine war. In terms of military activity, the border between Finland and Russia is even more peaceful than what it is in normal circumstances.
Very, very few people in Finland think about what Putin thinks of Finland's NATO membership. Everyone knows Russia can't do anything to hamper Finland's application. Military option is definitely out of the question because Finland would kick the sh** out of any Russian forces trying to enter the country.
Totally agreed and think about joined Nordic air force, same beed against ONLY enemy that is against Nordic FREEDOM. Nordic will beat russian air force in a second with more modern jets (with the Swedes super excellent Jas Grippens) And; Finland has biggest amount of field artillery and rockets in whole Europe so please; come through our eastern border full of lakes, swamps, forrest and few roads (which will be already mined); you already lost lostria
Thanks for sharing! An interesting programme for sure!
